I'd just sound a small word of caution that you'll need to check each parser 
before flicking the switch. The parser I maintain in kholidays uses a Bison 
C++ skeleton which I remember the documentation explicitly warning may change 
between Bison versions and so either break or change the behaviour in 
unexpected ways.

Cheers!
